PC Speakers: "popping noise" keeps happening.

Hi. My Speakers are always "popping" (sounding like static/a firecracker) whenever I am doing specific actions on my PC., usually when its something graphically related.. like when scrolling down an internet window (and there is no sound going on). The interesting thing is that there is no "popping" in any gaming applications.

I've had Vista and XP and the problem still exists... I have an XFi-Elite Pro Soundcard if that accounts for much.

Any help appreciated. Thanks.
 
Yea I've got the latest. Gigabyte 965P-DS3.

Another interesting thing to note is that it doesn't happen after closing a graphic intensive program... after a minute or two then it kicks back on.
 
Sounds like bus noise or an open loop. First thing is make sure you have the latest drivers from Creative. A few things you can try that worked for me with similar oddities:

1) Check your sampling rate setting. If I set output sampling rate to 96kHz in the Creative CP, my right front speaker had an intermitten pop. Set to 88.2kHz, 48kHz, or 44.1kHz eliminated the problem.

2) Mute and set all inputs to the minimum for everything like Mic, Line-In, Aux In, etc.

3) I've also heard plugging something into your mic input to close the ground loop can solve hissing issues also. Or change your flexijack setting to s/pdif.
